The Armor Piercing Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot (APFSDS) round or kinetic energy penetrator (also known as a KE weapon) is a type of ammunition which, like a bullet, does not contain explosives and uses kinetic energy to penetrate the target. This is a special kind of round that uses extremely high velocity to pierce armor or hard targets, such as a Jiralhanae.

  • The Armor Piercing Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot (APFSDS) round or kinetic energy penetrator (also known as a KE weapon) is a type of ammunition which, like a bullet, does not contain explosives and uses kinetic energy to penetrate the target. This is a special kind of round that uses extremely high velocity to pierce armor or hard targets, such as a Jiralhanae. The principle of the kinetic energy penetrator is that it uses its kinetic energy, which is a function of mass and velocity, to force its way through armor. The modern KE weapon maximizes KE and minimizes the area over which it is delivered by: * Being fired with a very high muzzle velocity concentrating the force in a small impact area while still retaining a relatively large mass * Maximizing the mass of whatever (albeit small) volume is occupied by the projectile—that is, using the densest metals practical, which is one of the reasons depleted uranium is often used. * This has led to the current designs which resemble a long metal arrow.
